I believe that you will need to alter this to include the remote
machines. Also, if you have a firewall, it may be blocking ports 4557
through 4559, which are used for the protocol.

Note that newer versions (4.1beta2 or the CVS) have moved this file
to $SPOOLDIR/etc/hosts.hfaxd.

Not sure: it might take some poking of your local networkk
configurations to figure out the answer.
